Resurrection Blogfest II

The fabulous Mina Lobo is celebrating her second blogoversary with the Resurrection Blogfest II! Congratulations on two years in the blogosphere!

Last year for this blogfest, I posted some science fiction poetry, and this year, I'm posting another sci-fi poem. What can I say? I just like to write odd-ball things (sci-fi poetry being one of them), and I want to make sure people get a chance to see the results of my madness!

This was originally posted on Wednesday, February 27, 2013. You can find the original post HERE.

And now, here is my resurrected post! (Forgive me if I haven't managed to knock all the dirt off of it for you. That's what happens when you go digging through the depths of your blog late at night.)

Today I gave myself the word REPLICATION. Why? I don't know. The word just spoke to me this week. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I've been delving into the philosophy of identity this week, in part in preparation for my first post as the Weekend Philosopher. I won't say more about that here, because I don't want to spoil anything for you!

The word led me to write this poem. I could talk forever about why I wrote this, but Ill let the poetry speak for itself.

Fantastic! I actually felt a little anxiety reading your poem. Just that idea of taking a course of action that cannot be reversed and has unforeseen consequences. I can imagine this concept as the core of a really cool sci-fi movie... or novel! ;)
